SUMMARY:New Reads Book Club: How To Pronounce Knife
DESCRIPTION:Meeting ID: 831 6653 0803\nPasscode: 164943 \nThe New Reads Book Club focuses on contemporary literature and is hosted by Drawn & Quarterly staff members. The book club meetings take place every few weeks on ZOOM\, and are open to all. \nFor our October 27th meeting\, we will meet virtually at 7 pm to discuss Giller Prize nominated HOW TO PRONOUNCE KNIFE by Souvankham Thammavongsa!\n\n‘Where can I purchase the book?’ – From our online store of course!\nmtl.drawnandquarterly.com\nBy purchasing your book from Librairie Drawn & Quarterly you help support free events like this one\, independent publishing and retailing\, our neighborhood\, and authors both local and from around the world who depend on independent bookstores for their livelihood. Your support is appreciated. \n///////////////////////////////////////////////// \nHOW TO PRONOUNCE KNIFE\nA young man painting nails at the local salon. A woman plucking feathers at a chicken processing plant. A father who packs furniture to move into homes he’ll never afford. A housewife learning English from daytime soap operas. In her stunning debut book of fiction\, O. Henry Award winner Souvankham Thammavongsa focuses on characters struggling to make a living\, illuminating their hopes\, disappointments\, love affairs\, acts of defiance\, and above all their pursuit of a place to belong. In spare\, intimate prose charged with emotional power and a sly wit\, she paints an indelible portrait of watchful children\, wounded men\, and restless women caught between cultures\, languages\, and values. As one of Thammavongsa’s characters says\, “All we wanted was to live.” And in these stories\, they do–brightly\, ferociously\, unforgettably.\nA daughter becomes an unwilling accomplice in her mother’s growing infatuation with country singer Randy Travis. A boxer finds an unexpected chance at redemption while working at his sister’s nail salon. An older woman finds her assumptions about the limits of love unravelling when she begins a relationship with her much younger neighbour. A school bus driver must grapple with how much he’s willing to give up in order to belong. And in the Commonwealth Short Story Prize-shortlisted title story\, a young girl’s unconditional love for her father transcends language.

SUMMARY:King of Canada - World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Infinithéâtre is thrilled to welcome you home to the theatre with the world premiere of Paul Van Dyck’s tragicomic “King of Canada”! \nRecently included as part of our “Infinite Playwrights’ Chat Room” series\, “King of Canada” is a meta-theatrical political satire that puts William Lyon Mackenzie King\, Canada’s longest-serving prime minister\, under the microscope. Part séance\, part trial\, the man and his actions are put to judgement. And with him\, the actions of our nation. A look at the power of one\, lifted by the will of many. \nEllen David and Brian Dooley\, two celebrated stars of the Montreal theatre scene\, perform in this playful yet biting examination of legacy. Dooley incarnates King\, David brings many others to life; close to forty other characters including King’s mother\, FDR\, Churchill\, Hitler\, and three Irish terriers named Pat. \n“King of Canada” will run from October 20th to November 1st at KIN Gallery. Tickets are limited\, with a maximum audience size of 20 patrons per performance. \nTo purchase tickets\, visit: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/116771405417
